Uh, how does one pick one? Cheating once again. I really, really loved Episode 118 in Season 1 and the arc between Episode 213 and 214 in Season 2. I loved 118 because I could certainly relate to it and Justin. He was torn between choosing his parents over what he really wanted and the beginning of the episode was a very, very confident Justin. He felt like he had Brian wrapped around his finger, he was going to the college of his choice to study what he loved, and then it came crashing down around him. He received advice from Debbie, was discouraged when he received the gift from Melanie and Lindsay, and in the end, it was Brian who told him how brave he was to say, "I'm going with him" on that first night.
There was a lot of love between them there and ahem, Forever Young. Yeah, that's all I need to say and you all will get it.
I also liked the storyline between David, Michael, and Brian and the way that Brian found the Doctor at the baths. I absolutely loved that and quoted it often. It also brought a great scene between the four friends at Michael and Emmett's place. I really, really missed those ensemble scenes that quickly disappeared in the following seasons but particularly in S4.
And I loved the 213 and 214 arc for Brian and Justin and Justin learning that he did need to accept help and maybe pimping yourself out isn't the best way to handle that. His decisions were immature and could've gotten him into more trouble than he did. His decisions were young, headstrong, and irresponsible. I think facing the reality for the first time that he doesn't have anything financial to fall back on, he tried to do what he thought he should do, and take what was given to him and what he felt like he could do. Needless to say, it was stupid, but it was fitting.
I also liked the Michael finds out his dad is a drag queen arc! To this day, it's something that my mom will watch with me repeatedly. Then there's the Debbie dates a cop and brings the most hilarious drunk!Brian scene ever. Ted was aces in that scene.
And, of course, we have Emmett. Poor Emmett in Episode 214. I really think that he lost his soul mate there.
... and Mel and Lindsay and Gus and school and all.
